The Hard Truth: Without Fluent Spanish – Finding A Job In Barcelona Is Pretty Difficult

Let’s be honest – finding a job in Barcelona without fluent Spanish is quite difficult. 🙁

However, it is entirely possible in fields such as IT, modelling, photography, and some other professions such as barista, english teacher, and so on.

As a rule of thumb, if you are looking for jobs in Barcelona but you don’t yet speak Spanish, you should rather spend your time on Duolingo studying Spanish.

Learning Spanish (And Catalan) Will Increase Your Chances

Spend a month or two learning Spanish. You’ll thank me later.

Even Italians and Portuguese, who learn Spanish very quickly, find it much easier to find a job once they have a good level of Spanish.

Unless you are in tech or aim at an English teacher job, go study first!
